Chapter Forty-Nine: Against the Sky!

After the Community Shield match against Chelsea, Shaq found Simon? Grayson had a long talk with his mentor...... It's all about his playing time this season.

"Boss, you know that Jonny and Ben are going to retire at the end of the season, right?"

"Yes!"

Simon? Grayson smiled wryly and nodded, he knew that he was always in a bad mood after this, no one wanted to see his proud disciple retire, Jonny? Hausen and Ben? Parker is not just his disciple, but also a reflection of his personal coaching career, from the beginning to success, from success to glory, the retirement of these two men...... Maybe it will be a harbinger of the end of his career.

Of course, Simon? Grayson knows better that if Shaq has not retired, then his coaching career has not yet come to an end, but Shaq is already 35 years old, and he will be 36 years old halfway through this season, even if Shaq is still in good form, but ...... How much longer can he play?

"Boss, this season...... I want to fight it! ”

"Fight? What to spell? ”

Shaq grinned: "Last season we were Champions League winners, this season ...... We have a chance to be a seven-time champion! ”

"Seven-Crowned .................."

Hear the familiar title, Simon? Grayson was stunned for a while, and in the past two years, he has stopped thinking about this, and he is very familiar with the team, and as Shaq gets older, Jonny? Hausen, Ben? Parker is also coming to the end of his career, and even Ashley? Hood has already seen a significant dip in form. It's really too difficult for Leeds United to win all the championship awards!

Being able to win the league championship every season is because of the morale and confidence accumulated by the "Young Guard" over the past few years. Leeds United, while not weaker than any opponent, are not strong enough to sweep them all.

Right now...... You want to win the Seven Crowns!?

See Simon? Grayson's hesitation, Shaq laughed and said: "Boss, don't worry, I feel in good shape this season, I will provide enough goals for the team!" But other aspects...... I can't help it! I just wish I could give my two good brothers, Jonny and Ben, a gift that will make them happy. ”

Simon? Grayson nodded. Hehe laughed, and there was indescribable confidence in his smile: "Okay, Shaq. If you want to do that, then I'm rooting for you, and we're going to adjust the team this season with the goal of seven crowns! Let's do our best this time and see how far we can go! ”

"Huh. To what extent? Yes, of course...... Seven crowns! ”

Shaq chuckled. Turn around and leave, leaving Simon? Grayson's, only has an incredibly confident back......

Watch Shaq leave the office for a while, Simon? Grayson laughed, and finally turned into a laugh, and said to himself arrogantly: "Okay! In that case...... Then let's go crazy together for another season! ”

He says "crazy", but in fact Simon? Grayson wasn't crazy at all, and even ...... He's more sane than ever!

One season. It's a long time for a team, especially a team like the Young Guards who have to play in all competitions such as the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, League Cup, FA Cup, etc. How to distribute the physical strength of the players, make full use of the state of the players, so that the team can always maintain a strong fighting force, and defeat one opponent after another, this is definitely a big thing that must not be sloppy.

But about this...... Simon? Grayson is no stranger!

Not only is it no stranger, "Brutal Simon" is also very good at this, otherwise he would not have led the team to many championships every season, and implementing a reasonable "rotation system" is the only way to solve the problem, although it requires the team itself to have strong strength.

But the current strength of the "Young Guard" is really not weak, it is far stronger than the average team!

According to the evaluation of professional media, Leeds United is not only the richest team in world football today, but also the team with the strongest strength, the highest player value and the most stars!

In this team, there are six people who are currently worth more than 30 million pounds, namely Lens, Hoydenck, Chen Jinlong, Du Xiaoguang, and Jess? Brookman, Clegg? Richardson.

In addition, there are four people worth between 20 million and 30 million pounds, and goalkeeper Westrak is valued at 29.5 million pounds. Aaron, Ashley? Hood, and the newly developed left-back Nigel? Yebby is worth more than 20 million pounds.

And Colm, Campbell, Draper, Joe? The Hicks were worth more than 10 million pounds.

As for Shaq, Ben? Parker, Jonny? Hausen, the well-known "Leeds Three Musketeers", is not very optimistic at present, after all, the youngest of the three of them, Shaq, is 35 years old and about to turn 36.

With strong strength, of course, there is no guarantee of success, the key is Simon? Grayson has absolute control over this team, he knows everyone in this team, this is his cronies and descendants, he believes that he can mobilize the enthusiasm and fighting spirit of every player, and contribute all their strength to the team.

This season's Shaq, after making up his mind to give his old brother a perfect retirement gift, began to frantically refresh his personal goal record after the first game of the new season, the Community Shield, and the "Young Guard" also entered the "Shaq mode" again.

By the end of the year, Shaq's madness continued, scoring 25 goals in 15 Premier League games for Leeds United, 15 goals in six Champions League group games, 15 goals in two Club World Cup games, and 11 goals in the semi-finals against Mexico's Cruz Azul, setting a new personal single-game scoring record!

In addition, combined with goals in the League Cup, FA Cup, and UEFA Super Cup, Shaq played 29 games for Leeds United in half a season, scoring a crazy 73 goals and 14 assists!

Because of Shaq's madness, Leeds United also won the Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup, and Club World Cup in the middle of the season!

European football is once again shrouded in the shadow of Shaq, and the media from all over the world are paying attention to Shak's situation, and many teams were originally looking forward to the rise in the "post-Shaq era", and now ...... They seem to be going to lie dormant again.

The Spanish newspaper "Lens" specially published an article related to Shaq at the end of the year, called "1908 goals, Shaq rules world football!" How far is 2000 balls? The main point of this article is that after scoring 73 goals in 29 games this season, he has now scored 1,581 goals in all competitions for the club, plus his 327 goals for the England national team, and his current career total has reached a staggering 1,908 goals, and this number is far from stopping, and according to Shaq's current efficiency this season, he is actually not far from his 2,000 goals.

England's "Times" claimed: Although Shaq missed this year's FIFA Golden Ball Award because of his performance in the second half of last season was not good enough, and even failed to enter the top three selections, Shaq this season has a perfect performance, his performance is shocking, as a player who is about to turn 36 years old, Shaq's magic is indescribable, we can't describe what he has achieved except looking up! European football, still under Shaq's rule!

Although Shaq did not win any awards at the end of the year, the British did not want their hero to have any regrets, and a "Lifetime Achievement Award" trophy presented to Shaq by former superstar David Beckham is enough to show the love of English fans for Shaq.

In an interview, Shaq answered reporters' questions with a confident smile: "I haven't done very well in the last two seasons, maybe I can't find the motivation because I have won too many trophies, but this season is different, my good brothers Jonny and Ben are retiring at the end of the season, and I want to give them the perfect farewell gift, so ...... All the championships of this season, we want them! Sorry opponents! ”

Belch!

The reporters were all speechless, "because I couldn't find motivation because I took too many trophies"?

If someone else said this, they would really dare to open their mouths to spray, but the person who said this was Shaq, a person who had already won all the championships, won the Champions League trophy softly, even won the World Cup twice, and dominated the European Golden Boot and Golden Ball individual awards all year round, and at FIFA, he is also the perennial best player in the world and the FIFA Golden Ball Award, he ...... I'm really qualified to say that!

However, the reporters were convinced, which did not mean that a large group of players in the audience also had no opinions, and they really hated and feared Shaq's eyes......

You're a fucking 36-year-old, everyone else is retired or preparing to retire, even the famous "Leeds captain" and "world number one left-back" are already preparing to retire, and almost all players of Shaq's generation have faded out of sight, like Mata, Ganso and others.

Even...... Even his former teammates, who were younger than Shak, have retired!

Like Shaq's teammates at Manchester United, Van der Wiel, Jose? Angel, Gareth? Bell, Papadopoulos, Rivero, and more!

But instead of retiring, you still scored 73 goals in 29 games at the age of 35, averaging 2.5 goals per game, which makes people not live!?

It's not that there are no players who get older and more demonic, like the original "little fat" Rooney played until he was 40 years old, but Rooney couldn't score a goal in two games when he was 35 years old!

Looking at Shaq's performance now, apart from the extra wrinkles on his face, his performance on the court is simply better than he was ten years ago, Shaq ...... This is really against the sky! (To be continued......)
